Chicken with Taro / Kochu Murgi

I love chicken with vegetables. Taro (kochu) is a unique vegetable, it goes well with chicken.

Hard part of cooking taro cut the skin of taro, need to be careful cut thick skin and don’t not keep any brown part of skin. Hope you will enjoy very...

Chicken Cashew Nuts
Feb 28
Chicken Cashew Nuts is Chinese dish. Chinese foods are very popular in Bangladesh. Thought I found, it has lots of difference with authentic Chinese cuisine. I like to call fusion food.

Though after...
